            what i heard, sober, was a combo of very fresh and odd and psychedelic melodies (i'm a musician and i know music), tweaked to all hell but still minimal. top notch production, morphing 80s synth-like sounds vocoded, matched with tripped out, minimal rhythms and crisp to muddled beats juxtaposed against bassdrop surprises. some "new genre" may do that, but this easily qualifies as prog in the sense that his sound is redefining sound itself.

            i've always known prog as sasha and digweed define it. others do it well too, but these guys are the godfathers, as are their tastes in track and production.

            holden produces with intense sophistication, and his dj set matched, if not exceeded, that level of sophistication. he was dead on point. every sound was carefully considered and well-worked.

            i haven't heard a set on the net that is even half as good as what i heard sober on sunday night at cielo. then again, i left at 230/300.
            dude, I don't know how you can classify JH's set last Sunday @ Cielo as the best progressive. Of course, it was not progressive in the general meaning of the term. Just because you are musician, it doesn't guarantee you can identify every style of music... hell, every kid on this board is a DJ.... and I don't see how you can make association between the style played by Holden and Digweed...

            I would have to agree with kfitz as far as classifying the set. To me it seemed like electro progressive. But not progressive. I was ready to be devastated by Solstice or Nothing, but it seems like Holden right now is far away from that kind of progressive. Overall, the set was nice, I kind of was surprised too by it and in the end I liked it too... Props to Made and the people @ Cielo for making this event happen and for creating the warm athmosphere during the night.

            And if you left around 230/300 I think you might have missed the best part...

              let me begin my ripping

              sasha and digweed have both sucked hardcore every time I have seen them. The reason we haven't heard music anywhere as good in a while is because most of the music flooding nyc is poppy and crappy

              holden was great opening with really chilled techy prog (sorry for the stupid lingo throwing), but as the night progressed i drank myself into oblivion to enjoy it, I'll be honest. He should have gotten deep and dark to contrast his opening nicely but he stayed light and fluffy which the crowd loves but as a dj he wasn't anything special. None the less I had a good night.

              ps i was the 6'4 guy by the bar with kinda long dirty hair who was hanging with a few mates

                    Re: James Holden in NYC at Cielo = best prog I've ever heard

                    i heard from someone that went there that the music was really reallly good. however , i had holden also had trouble beat matching.

                    thats kind of a turn off. a dj that has trouble beat matching.

                    i still love his productions though.
